Summary
This study tests whether letting patients choose and listen to their own music during anesthesia induction and emergence can lower anxiety and improve comfort. One hundred adults having eye surgery will be randomly assigned to either hear their chosen music or receive standard care without music. Researchers will measure anxiety levels and patient satisfaction to see if music makes a difference.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease anxiety before and after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Music may not reduce anxiety for all patients.
